Mark and John,
Although short-lived there MUST have been some Centaurs in the Cdn Army Overseas because a war diary exists (see my earlier post in this thread). Once I get to review this file we will know if it was just a training unit or if it was operationally deployed.

Clive;

Yes your right, there was a Cdn 95mm How. Centaur Bty operated for a short time by members of the R.C.A. in support of 6th (B) AB Div. A while ago, it was either on this forum or Michael's forum, I posted quite a bit of info regarding the Cdn Centaur Bty, off hand I just can't remember which forum it was on, it may even have been on the Old MLU Forum. If I can't find it, I'll repost my notes on this forum for you.

What Luc is referring to, is not the 95mm How. Centaur equipment, but to the Centaur AA MkII equipment. I've attached a picture of each:
